    I'm about to buy a AMD 64 chip... Im going 90nm for better power consumption and stuff but I need to know whether people have found that the 3500+ is worth the extra 100 or so euro over the 3200+?? Pricipally for gaming and other stuff! I dont wanna have to spend 270 when I can get the 3200+ for 190?

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Many thanks

    If you're willing to overclock it then the 3200+ is a better choice. It can easily be overclocked to perform equal to or better than a 3500+ on stock cooling, so paying an extra €100 isn't worth it unless you aren't willing to overclock. Although even if you aren't, the 3200 shouldn't limit you in any current games any more noticably than a 3500.
